julio seems to have took a goff
course in collodgo and he likes it
v and says it is a great game for tired
bizness men, but we have noi\e now,
unless they get tired waiting on bizness
to open up ansoforth. julie
seems to know his onions in laying
off a goff link, and he calls it "the
green" for short/he kept on talking
about traps, but all i.saw enroute was
3 rabbit gums. *
i told julio that i would boost his
link in my collum if ho would t^ech
me how to play and he said all rftfht.
his link has 9 holes in it and 4
level flatforms to knock the balls
from when you start off. he has a
flag pole at the hole down in the back
of the pastor. v .

julie teoched me one round today,
he showed me how to ketch my
caddy up close to the end and bend
my little finger over the other little
finger, he showed me how to build
the little ant-hole" to tea my ball
off from, he explained that r should
not grip by caddy too light and told
me not to use my iron driver caddy
unless i had a long shoot to make.
he furnished the ball finder for me
and he told me to hit the hall hard
so's it would go over the hazzard
(meaning our swimming pool) and he
fixed my feet kinder plgeon->toed. and
told me to hold them that-a-way1
every time i tead off from taw, or

PLANKS & PLANKS
..It might save a great deal of lumber
if the democrats and the repub
licans would use the same planks in
their "flatforms." This is "no time
to waste our natural resources. All
other kinds of resources have already
been wasted.
..I have figgered up some specifications
for the necessary "flatfdrm"
planks to be used by both parties
this year, as follows: a
w et plank... .This"should be a
plank about 10 feet long, 6 inches
wide, thick at both ends and thin
in the middle. (N. B. The reason it
should be thin in the middle is to
keep the politicians from see-sawing
with it). The dampness should be
confined to the north-end of the said
plank. This plank sfhould be made of
very soft wood so's it can he efcsily
straddled.
farm RELtElS PLANK By all
means, see that this plank ia a very
short one; something Hke a 1 by 3
16 inches long. As it won't be worth
anything to the farmers, they can at
least bum it in their stoves after the
election. Notches can be sut on the
edges of this plank to show where the
government pegged wheat and corn
and cotton at different times during
past life of the board.
BONUS BLANK... .This should be
* maple plank not over 7 feet long,
suggest maple because maple is
easily bent but hard to break, an<f
n can ke leaned one rway during the
election years and leaned the other
aItcr the elections without iny>
should be full bTTcnot holes
with trenches dug in both the center
and the circumference to illustrate
*bat it stands for, that is, if it will
s^and at all. One end of this plank
might be sawed off to show that part
6 kpnus has been.paid already.
Tariff plank White pine
wouid be suitable for this plank, as
whlt0 P>ne is flexible. It should be
rough, full of splinters, crooked,
ffreen, worm holey, odoriferous, dis??0red,
and very thick. It ought to
cut in such shape that it will
?ok like a war-club and then out'
ers WM1 know that its purpose is
drive off our friends as well as
?ur foes.
ECONOMY BLANK. ...Don't fail
get a wide, long, smoothly dressed
P*nk for this purpose. (Fix it so's
names ?f senators and congressn
and wires, and their sons
daughters and their wires, can
printed on same, as they are the
to help in this fight. It might

so listed is drawing. The

trench silos a boon
* *?
1'rovide* Inexpensive Way of Saving
Silage Foe Dairy Cowa
One of the moat practical and workable
contributions ever made to farm
dairying in South Carolina is the
trench silo* which was first introduced
by D. <B. Sea.se of Newberry, in 1026,
and which has spread rapidly in popularity
under the direction of the
Clemson College Extension (Service,
writes C, G. Cushman, extension
dairyman. This type of silo U the very
essence of simplicity ami because of
its simplicity fits admirably into the
scheme of any dairy farmer who
could not previously afford the investment
in an erect type.
The cost of the trench silo is negligible.
It can conceivably be built
without any cash outlay whatever.
In 1031, 72 such silos were built under
the direction of the Extension
Service and jrecords of construction
costs were kept on quite a number
of them showing an average cost of
70 cents per ton capacity. Thus a
trench silo with a capacity of 30 tons
would cost $23,70. These figures allow
a liberal charge t6r farm labor
and mule labor as well as the cost
of a roof. (Several farmers built
these silos in 1931 with no cash outlay,
using farm labor on idle days
and building the roof out of rough
boardsr,.or other waste .material around
the farm. As one farmer expressed
it, "The only obstacle in the
way of building a trench silo is making
up your mind to have one."
Care should bo exercised in selecting
a well drained place, preferably
where there is a hard clay subsoil,
and the natural water table in wet
weather will be (below the bottom of
the trench constructed. This type si-j
lo is usually built, along one" side of1
the barn and the roof is constructed
as a shed type, attached to the ^ide
of the barn.
The adaptability of this silo to the
size of herd kept is one of its greatest
appeals. As the herd grows, the
silo can be dug wider and longer to
meet: the feeding requirements. A
trench silo six feet wide at the top,
four feet wide at the bottom, five
feet deep, and 24 feet long, will feed
six cows the required amount of silage
for 100 days. Twelve cows will
require a silo seven feet wide at the
top, five feet wide at the bottom,
six feet deep and 34 feet long to
furnish the required amount of silage
for 100 days.
Either corn or cane is adaptable to
this type of silo. These crops are
harvested just as the grain is passing
fromx the dough stage and cut into
lengths one-half and three-fourths
inch in an'ensilage cutter or powerdriven
feed cutter and packed well in
the trench. When the treram is full,
a layer of cut straw is spread over
the silage followed by a 10 to 12 inch
layer of the earth which has been
taken out in digging the silo, and is
wet down with water. Feeding may
start at any time after two or three
weeks. The straw and the dirt are
thrown back from a small area near
the feeding end and a sloping layer
of silage from top to bottom is fed
each day, the straw and dirt being
thrown back daily as the silage is
fed out.
Silage fills a place in the winter
ration of. the dairy cow which cannot
be fiiled by any other product.
It is likewise one o? the most economical
forms of feed, and now that
the trench silo has proven itself prac- j
tical, " silage is in reach of everyone
who owns cows. It has long been
estimated that corn will make about
one ton of silage for each five bushels
of grain. Corn that will make
30 bushels of corn per acre will make
six tons of silage. No other crop
will return so much succulent and
valuable feed per acre as corn or
cane 'in silage forjn.
Any fanner who is interested in
trench silos can get full directions
from his vouiily ttgeui. ur uy wriliu*
to* the -Division of Publications at
Clemson College and requesting Circular
1'21, "The Trench .Silo." This
circular contains complete directions
for construction. It also contains directions
for building the partial underground
type, which is adaptable to
the lower section of the state where
the water table is too high for the
ordinary trench silo or the land is
too sandy or not properly drained.

Strawberries For
Home and Market
Citmson College, July 29,?-A yield
of 2,000 to 8,000 quarts per acre from
strawberries may b? expected by
planting desirable varieties and following
efficient cultural practices,
says E. H; Hawl, extension horticulturist,
who considers the strawberry
one of our most important small
fruits nnd who advises that every
home garden should have several rows
and that market gardeners near larger
towns should grow strawberries
for local market.
. "Strawberries will succeed on a
variety of soils and may be grown
on any soil adapted to ordinary crops
ifjthe soil has plenty of organic matter
and heavy applications of .fertilizers,"
Mr. Rawl states. "In general
the medium or lighter soils are
preferred. Light soils tend to hasten
the maturity of the fruit, but are
most subject to drought. A good
strawberry soil should be fertile and
well drained but highly retentive of
moisture.
"Lands to be planted to strawberries
next winter should have preparation
under way now. Plow the land
deeply and disc harrow thoroughly.
Let the soil go uncultivated until after
a good rain so that weed and
grass seed may germinate, then later
plow or disc to kill the weeds and
grasses before seed are produced. Repeat
this operation throughout the
summer and the worst hazard in
strawberry growing (weeds and
grasses) will be materially reduced."

Jackson's relatives had pleaded that
he be electrocuted on July 20.
"It is true Jackson committed a
horrible crime," the governor said,
"but I cannot give my consent to
permit the execution of a man who
was mentally incapacitated to determine
right from wrong."
l>r. G, Fred Williams, superintendent
of the iState Hospital in a report
to the governor, said Jackson
"has shown definite and positive
symptoms of mental disease for the
past 15 years." The board of pardons
had recommended clemency for
him. *
Jackson's relatives, in pleading with
the governor to allow the death sentence
to be carried out, told him
through an'attorney that they would
feel^'uneas^" if the farmer were allowed
to live, subject in yenr to come
to executive* clemency.
